I played CoM first, so I was pretty much just really confused after I beat it and thought, "maybe I should play the first game..." but I somehow ended up playing KHII after that and again thought that I should probably play KHI...I may or may not have then played Days, after which I wept profusely, at the same time thinking "what in the heck just happened?" THEN I played KHI and thought, "now I should probably play the others again cause they might actually make sense now...." Birth by Sleep made me incredibly sad and confused, but also hopeful about the next game, which would hopefully answer some questions and bring some resolution. I ended DDD with more questions than answers, but, however much debate has come of the issue, I was beside myself with glee when Lea summoned a keyblade, and I wish ever so much that he will be a playable character in KHIII. Overall, a bittersweet feeling accompanies the completion of each game, along with a feeling of accomplishment. The End.
